Unfortunately some people will take it seriously. If his advice had been routinely followed most of our American "heroes"- in war and peace, would not have existed. There isn't anything more depleting to the wallet than dying for a cause and being unable to earn anything- plus the pay isn't usually very good for the occupations in which you die for your country. Seems to me that poses a logical conundrum for conservatives who might wish to champion O'Rourke's "advice".
